Your mum can be your best friend

You can learn so much more from being friends with your mum

Your thoughts (163)

Who would have thought my mum and I could be friends?

I use to be scared of my mum. I use to think she was mean. Until I started my period.

I was scared and confused. I didn’t know who to talk to but I knew I had to speak to someone quickly.

My mum was the only one around and so I walked up to her even though I was afraid and I told her about the blood coming out.

She hugged me really tight after I told her. She explained what was happening to my body, she said it was just my period and that it was normal. She asked me not to be scared as she helped me clean up.

She was so understanding and cool about it.

She showed me how to wear a pad. She even showed me how to calculate my menstrual cycle.

She told me to always feel free to talk to her about anything. She said I should never be afraid to tell her what is worrying me.

Since then, my mum and I have been really close. I talk to her about a lot of things. She advises me about everything, even boys.

She knows a lot. I share some of the things I learn from her with my friends. Some of them wish they could be as close to their mums as I am with mine.

I always tell them to open up to their mums. Our mothers were young once. They have gone through most of the things we are experiencing right now. They will understand.

They have a lot to teach us.

Wondering how else to bond with your mum you can try the following

  • Cook with her. Don’t wait until she asks for your help in the kitchen
  • Talk to her about your likes and hobbies.
  • Ask her about her favourite music. Make her listen to yours
  • Watch a movie together
  • Spend more time with her
  • Learn not to be secretive with her.

Hey Torka! Thanks for the comment. It is the fear you have that makes it difficult to know what your mum likes or hate. Have you tried talking to your mum and telling her about your fears? We are sure you are even more scared to open up to her but keeping this to yourself may not help either. If you cannot talk to her, write a letter to her or better still, tell a relative you trust (and that is close to her) to help you talk to your mum. We hope this helps

Hey Isha! We are sorry to hear about this. She is probably doing this because she is not satisfied with some of your actions. We suggest that you try to talk to her when she is in a good mood and tell her how you feel about the way she treats you. If you feel scared, you can tell someone that is close to her to do the talking for you (if she will be OK with that). We hope this helps.

Hey Loveth6! Thanks for opening up with this comment. If you can't talk to your mum about certain things, you can also talk to an aunt, grandparent, cousins or even your siblings. Just be sure that you are talking to someone you trust and also someone that won't judge you. We hope this helps.

Hey Aizzy1996! Thanks for the comment. Have you tried talking to your her? Sometimes she may not be deliberately harsh to you, she may just be under pressure or she may not even know she is harsh to you. Try and do what she says you should do so that she will not have a reason to be harsh. We hope this helps.

And you can never satisfy her in any way

Hey 1234! Since your mum is open then you should fight your shyness. Always remember that your mum was once your age and experienced such. Be open to her, ask her questions about how she handled certain things when she was your age. Feel free with her because she is willing to share with you. When your mum is your best friend, you will no longer be shy to ask questions. We hope this helps.

WHY is it dat wen a person uses pad or tampon.she must feel sick?

March 20, 2022, 8:03 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey 6524! Some people actually react to using tampons. This is called TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome). The best thing to do if you start feeling sick every time you see your period (especially if you just started your period) is to discontinue using tampons and switch to pads immediately. Also, you should talk to a trusted adult and also see a doctor. This may seem like a casual case but it can also be very serious. We hope this helps.

Hey Softbabe! She may shout at you but the good thing is that she knows what your worries are and she also knows that you are willing to talk. The good part about this is that whether she shouts or not, the message has been passed across to her and we are sure that it will touch her. Also, please talk to her when she is in a good mood. She is your mum and so we are sure that you will know the best time to approach her. We hope this helps.

March 20, 2022, 8:02 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Clever! Sanitary pads are not the only things you can use when on your period. You can also make use of tampons. The reason why so many people don't use this is because they find it umcomfortable. They are usually inserted in the vagina but they can be used to swim (even when on your period). We hope this helps.

Hey PETTY! There is absolutely nothing wrong with letting your parents know about your period. However, if you do not feel comfortable with telling them about it, then don't force it but you don't have to feel bad about it at all. It is part of your growth process as a young woman and we are sure they are happy that you have a regular period. Sometimes, it is also good to involve them incase you have any irregularities or if you need sanitary pads. We hope this helps.

Thanks Big Sister

Hey Favour! Thanks for this comment. There is nothing wrong with you telling your mum about this. We are sure she will definitely understand. Periods last from 2 days - 7 days depending on the individual. The flow also depends on the individual. Some people see their periods twice a month because menstrual circle is from 21 days to 35 days (depending on the individual). Some also get their periods 13 times a month instead of the regular 12 times (once a month). There are various reasons for irregular periods as it is called but we suggest you talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor about this. We hope this helps.

Unlike other girls I hardly see my period at times in a year it comes like 3 times...... Can you just imagine!! I just hope there iz really nothing wrong with my body😰😰 I need help!!!!!!😧😧

Hey Arinola! Thanks for opening up with this comment. We advise that you tell your mum when she is in a good and relaxed mood.

It's a good thing that you are willing to talk about this with your mum. We hope this helps.

Hey Flawless22! Thanks for this comment. All you need is to overcome your fear. First of all, what makes you scared? Then you need to defeat it. It is perfectly normal to be tensed sometimes okay. So take a deep breath when someone says hello to you. You can start by replying by waving or smiling if you are not comfortable with talking to them yet. It is a gradual process but we trust you will be fine. We hope this helps.

Thanks Big sister I will try my best

i have a friends she see her period twice in a month instead of once in a month.

March 20, 2022, 8:02 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Enny! When we say monthly cycle, what we mean is either 28 days or 30 days (depending on your cycle). It does not have to start on the 1st of the month and end on the last day. It can start at the end of the month but as long as it lasts up to 28 or 30 days as the case may be with your menstrual cycle, that is all that matters. What you need to do is to track your period using a calendar to know how long your cycle is. Please note that menstrual cycles last from 21 -35 days depending on the individual. So if someone's cycle is for 21-28 days, she is likely to see it twice a month sometimes (not all the time). If she sees it twice every month, please advise her to talk to a trusted adult and see a doctor. We hope this helps.

Our mother's are the best! Why? They lead us to the right path by sharing their own experience with you, because they won't want you to follow that same path. The decision is left for you to choose(The right or the wrong way) by applying common sense and asking God for direction. Note:sharing her experience with you doesn't mean she wants to gain sympathy,but it is the Intention's of the heart that matter's the most. The decision is in your hand's.so be wise!

Rina! From my experience my mother is like that too. I am 22 years old but my mother dont want to see me around men with reason, and the reason is that, she want to 2 go to school have a job befor i talk of a man, because it may happen i get pregnant and end up being a house wife without having a job and that the man wil not gve me everything i want. That being a wife and having job wil make de man to gve u wht u wnt knwing dat u re working. So your mother have a reason for behaving that way she want the best for your future. So try as much as possible and make up with your mother, when u apoloyise to her and make u understand nd be sure that u wouldn't talk about boyfriend again, u wil knw that ur mother loves you. Then you can have a boyfriend without her knowing dnt make it open and be careful so that u dnt get pregnant. Hope that you are clear. Big sister please if am wrong signal me.

But now i realize how sturborn i was. And now i know the value of punishment. As am talking to you am the first daughter but second born. I have a brother and he senior all the child my mother have but if something happen at home i wil be the first to know befor others. So i and my mum we are so close and we love each other so much.

Hey Amie! Thanks for the comment. We understand how sad it is. Why don't you try to talk to her about how she changes when you talk about boys. The truth is that so many mums don't know how to handle such conversations and so you can tell her that you trust her with such conversations. Don't just give up on her, just try again and politely let her know how this makes you feel. We hope this helps

my mom is a lovely woman, but I don't know what is wrong wit me, am just 2 secretive, she have tried all she could 2 make me trust her enough 2 open up 2 her, but I just can't get along wit her, I love her but am not just use 2 her, sometimes I get angry wit her 4 no reason, maybe am use 2 confiding in myself rather dan confiding in her, bcus in d early stage of my life she was never dere 4 me, and I dnt like her husband, my dad is late so she remarried, I dnt want nbodi 2 share her wit me, dat y am angry wit her, I dnt trust her, pls I need help, am I doing d right thing???

Hey donann1! Thanks for the comment. We totally understand how you feel right now but you need to let go and forgive her. The fact that she is trying to make up for the time she was not there is enough for you to forgive her. It is not her fault that her husband (your father died) but you need to consider that she too is human and she will also need companionship and this is not just for now but for the future when all her kids (including you have grown up and moved on). You do not need to punish her for this. How will you feel if someone treats you in this way and neglects all your efforts? Your mum deserves more than what you are giving her. Holding onto a grudge will not help you or solve anything but make you bitter. Give her a chance okay? Enjoy the relationship with your mum. A lot of people will do anything to have this. We hope this helps

thanks big sister

Can a child dis vigirn at the age of 6 years or 9 yrs and why, i need help.

Cynthia m nt sure but I think that it doesn't depend on the age, which means that no matter the age as long as u had sex knowingly or unknowingly even if it was a rape, u re DISVIRGINED

Hey Cythia! Thanks for the comment. Getting disvirgined is when the hymen tears when there is any form of penetration in the vagina. Once there was some form of penetration, the person is no longer a virgin. We hope this helps

My step mom helps in her own way but m afraid telling her some secrets because she might scold me so hard that I would always wish my own mom was alive. I have tried almost all the listed tips on her but m still afraid of telling her my secrets instead I confide on my little step brother. Please Big sister help me #LoveHilda

Hey Hilda! Thanks for the comment. You really should try to talk to her about these things. You are assuming that she will scold you when you have not even tried talking to her about these. What if she doesn't scold you? What if she helps out and is understanding? Have you considered all of these? We advise that you give it a shot. We hope this helps

How is it going to be

What if your mom doesn't seem to want to talk about such topics and she doesn't bring it up ?

Hey Chincha! Thanks for the comment. You cannot say that your mum doesn't want to talk about these things because she hasn't brought them up. If she doesn't bring them up, then you should do that. It is only when she doesn't respond to it that you can conclude that she doesn't like to talk about it. Until then, make an effort. We hope this helps

Hey Ritkama! Thanks for the comment, You should not be afraid of your mum. She is human and trust us, she really wants to know more about what is going on in your mind. You can start by gisting her about your daily activities and what you enjoyed and didn't every day or twice a week depending on how available she is. You don't have to rush her through everything. So take it gradually. We hope this helps

Sometimes I feel like talking to her abt my problems but I don't want her to b unhappy. Her happiness is my happiness.

my mum & I are good friends, sometimes I want to tell her everything that's happening in my life but she just scream and yell at me I can't even tell her about my boyfriend. she will just kill me

I find it difficult to tell my mum most things because when I was maturity nd entering puberty, she was in school furthering her education, so I had nobody to speak to,I was somehow deceived by a guy who we later ended up dating each other, later I realised the guy was only playing me,still my mom was not there for me but when she finished in school I still couldn't tell her my feelings cos I don't want her to know I was once in a relationship with some ,please help me I'm really in need of it
